Basic Setup Menu Example
The procedure below shows how to configure the following three settings:
Image Adjustment 1  Contrast
Image Adjustment 1  Color Mode
Input Settings  Signal Name Indicator
NoteCertain settings on the setup menu cannot be changed while there is no input signal to the 
projector. Because of this, you should configure setup menu settings after selecting an input 
source and starting projection.
This example covers basic steps only. For more detailed information, see “Setup Menu 
Contents” on page 26.

Direct Power On
You can configure the projector so it powers up automatically as soon as you plug it into a power 
source. With this “Direct Power On” feature, you do not even need to press the [P] (Power) key. To 
enable Direct Power On, display the Setup Menu, and then change the “Direct Power On” setting to 
“On”.
Important!When you have Direct Power On enabled, do not leave the projector plugged into an electrical 
outlet while it is turned off. If you do, there is the chance that it (and the lamp) might turn on 
automatically when power is restored after being cut off by a power outage, tripping of a 
breaker, etc.
NoteDirect Power On causes the projector to turn on automatically as soon as it is plugged into a 
power outlet. This greatly reduces the amount of time it takes until you are ready to start 
projecting. Note, however, that the actual startup sequence (Standby State Power On 
Projection Starts) that the projector performs is the same, regardless of whether Direct Power 
On is enabled or disabled. The only difference is what triggers the sequence (plugging in or 
pressing the [P] (Power) key). For details about the startup sequence that the projector 
performs when you plug it into a power source, see “To turn on the projector” in the separate 
“User’s Guide (Basic Operations)”.
For details about configuring the Direct Power On setting, see “Direct Power On” under 
“Option Settings 1 Main Menu” on page 32.
